Errol got to enjoy his first day as a Canine Concern dog at a primary school. 🐾

Not only did he have a wonderful time meeting all the children during assembly, but he also helped calm an anxious child. 😊

If you have a dog who has a calm and gentle nature, please consider volunteering for Canine Concern. 🐕

Today is a great way to round off the week as it’s ! 🐶🐕

📣 If you’d like to take part, remember to ask your employer if you’d be allowed to do so.

If yes, we hope you and your four-legged friends have the best day! 👍

👉 It's important to remember that some businesses are not able to allow staff to bring in their dogs. There are lots of things to consider such as Health and Safety, Infection control and Liability Insurance as well as many other regulations. This is why we offer 1–2-hour visits to companies for staff wellbeing.

Clare and Paddy had the most beautiful day recently. ❤️

They were on a visit where there was a lovely little girl with complex needs. Despite initially being afraid of dogs, through spending time with Paddy, she was able to communicate with him in her own way and increased her confidence. 🐾

This visit perfectly captures what Canine Concern is all about – helping others through the love and soothing of dogs. 🤗💙
